This is my favourite post ever.

Most of my friends are musicians, in bands, been in bands etc, but i dont think one of them has got as many songbooks with tunes, lyrics etc written as she has. i hear she got loads? Anybody who can write hundreds of songs, and have the balls to get on stage, by herself, no backing band and nothing but a keyboard and still play gets a big thumbs up in my books. Even most of todays decent solo artists have backing bands etc to fall back on

You're very nice, dude! You're welcome to contact her through myspace, she's always grateful for any messages. Anne tries to promote her stuff a bit (I think she's got about five albums worth) and wants to get a songbook published, but really she needs a manager and a producer (and ideally drugs to turn back time). If I still lived in London I'd try and produce her songs. I used to when I was younger and didn't know anything about music production.

I don't know if she's secretive about it or not actually, that's never come up in our mother/son conversations. I'll leave it for you to ask her if you want to.

Okay then.

I best not promise to pop in here everyday, thrash isn't my scene sadly - but having learned there's no need to defend my mother's honour from you surprisingly good people, perhaps my work here is done!

Nothing to defend at all fella, we think your mum rules. Mine can't sing for shit.

ALL ALONE IN A DREAM ON THE GROUND!
